Starring Grizzy and Sophie

I’m still here! I’ve just been coming out from under last semester. I passed my class (for which I had to write the proposal). After that, I had to *defend* my proposal and get approval from the IRB – Institutional Review Board. They like to have us students jump through a zillion hoops. Well, that went through and hurrah! In August I’ll start my last semester as a graduate student. If all goes as planned, I’ll graduate in December. Whew!

In the meantime, I’ve been looking for kitties. I think the people at the humane societies are starting to recognize me. 🙂 For the most part, it seems like every cat (or kitten – I’ve branched out) that I’ve looked at has been “on hold,” meaning an adoption is pending. I’m glad to see so many adoptions but man, I really know how to pick ’em! haha

I’ve been thinking about maybe starting out with one adult. It might be easier to find a perfect (non-adoption-pending) single adult cat and then try to later find a friend for him or her. Lately I’ve been thinking about how nice it was when Rosie and I had “Mom and Me” time. So, I’m open. We’ll see. The big thing is I’d like to be able to meet the cat first before I make any decisions.

I’ve also been spending more time with my parents’ newest additions. Here is a picture of Tom (orange) and Pearl (black):

Hopefully I will have more kitty pics of my own child(ren) to post soon. 🙂
